Strategic location and value money”

Location, budget & food

The location is quite strategic and near to the Waterfront.You would be able to find many great local food nearby plus the price per night is quite value money. 1 of the bad thing was the noisy sound came from the coffee shop downstairs at night. It was hard for my parents to sleep during the 1st 2 nights.

Bed is still ok, but have a bit smell.
Quite noisy at night due to coffee shop downstairs
Also door closing and opening can be heard during midnight

Typical budget hotel”

Cheap and located in city centre

Just a budget hotel and possibly is the cheapest rate in town. Room condition needs upgrading and cleanliness is a major concern. Found strands of long hair sticking on the brown bed sheet cover. It seems that they have not washed or changed the brown bed sheet cover. Bed frame is old with cracking sound. The only consolation here is the free wifi.

Very nice stay at a low rate”

Staff, price, location

Pros:
- The staff was very helpful with every kind of needs.
- Location: Close to the Waterfront, local restaurants, City Centre, Malls, Museums and everything
- The rate was really low for the Standard of the Hotel. Great!
Cons:
- One small thing about the staff: I was kind of lost on the other side of the river and the Taxi Number they handed me was not working, so I phoned the Hotel in order to call me a taxi over there. They didn't understand me and hung up the phone...
- Nothing more.
